Providing a stark contrast to the concrete jungle of Bangkok and the azure seascape of the southern islands, Northern Thailand is characterized by forest-blanketed mountains, lush valleys, and misty waterfalls. The Rose of the North, as Chiang Mai is known, is the country's second largest city, but has managed to retain her small town charm, speckled with boutique luxury resorts and a bohemian chic coffee culture. Chiang Mai Old Town is small enough to discover on foot, but a car is the ideal way to venture out and explore the natural treasures tucked away in the surrounding hills.
Chiang Mai offers direct connections with a few domestic and regional cities including Kuala Lumpur, Seoul, Shanghai, Singapore, and Taipei. Do yourself a favor and escape the frenetic atmosphere of the more developed tourist destinations, and before you know it, you'll find yourself slowing down and smelling the roses (of the north).
